Gingrich Says He's Committed To Having 'Unified' Party
By NBC's Alex Moe
NEW YORK -- Speaking before several thousand Republicans Thursday evening, Newt Gingrich said he is committed to having a “unified” party going forward and seemed to change his rhetoric towards the GOP presidential frontrunner.
Gingrich, giving remarks at the New York State Committee Annual Dinner, vowed that whether he or Mitt Romney become the nominee, they will work together to defeat President Obama in the fall.
“If I were to become the nominee, he [Romney] would work all out because it is our grandchildren’s future at stake. If he becomes the nominee, Callista and I will work out because it is our grandchildren’s future at stake,” the former House speaker promised, acknowledging he is clearly the underdog. “The fact is, we are dedicated to a unified Republican Party, winning the presidency on behalf of America’s future.”

More Gingrich hate? Why don’t you give it a rest?
Your guy quit. Let it go.
Romney IS Obama, if not worse.
Mr. Gingrich remains the hope for America.
Romney should withdraw and go abuse dogs on his own.
Would rather it all burn, eyh Freepers?
It is the biggest joke to imagine a Republican congress will EVER stand in the way of Romney, and it'll become THAT much harder for any conservative to start or maintain a campaign as Romney's RINOs take up residence as the heads of each state party.
Mr. Gingrich is more than welcome to vote for whomever he pleases, but the writing IS on the wall. ‘Conservatives need not apply.’ And it's written by the GOP.
Oh, and if anyone wants to toss up the bull non-fertilizer that ‘he was selected by conservatives’ - the nomination cycle is a joke, starting out with more liberal states, or states that have open primaries. It is designed to make it easiest for a RINO to get the nomination. Close the primaries, load up on conservative states at the start, and get off this damn pony that is going no where but to liberalsville.
Your guy quit. Let it go.
RE "Let it go."
He can't. he's one of the many Santorum supporters, whose hate for Newt has increased, now that Newt's the last conservative standing, and Santorum ran home crying mommy, it's too hard.
Heck, why don’t you follow what your own leader Gingrich says? Enuf said.
Ok, Santormite, I’ll translate it for you -
Here’s what he said:
“If I were to become the nominee, he [Romney] would work all out because it is our grandchildren’s future at stake. If he becomes the nominee, Callista and I will work out because it is our grandchildren’s future at stake,” the former House speaker promised, acknowledging he is clearly the underdog. “The fact is, we are dedicated to a unified Republican Party, winning the presidency on behalf of America’s future.”
Translation - when we get to the convention and I, The Cheerful One, win the Republican nomination, I expect you to stay on the Republican Team, unlike your Dad George Romney who failed to endorse the republican nominee for President in 1964.
That is all. Have a nice weekend!
“It is the biggest joke to imagine a Republican congress will EVER stand in the way of Romney...”
I think it’s the second-biggest joke. Based on the House’s performance for the past 3 years, the biggest joke is to imagine that a Republican Congress will ever stand in the way of Obama.
Uniting the party is easy, how is he going it unite the conservatives with the party. I don’t think it can be done. The gap is wider than they think.
And another thing, all you "Lessor Of Two Evils" are a living in the responsible cultured past if you believe it can happen like you think! It won't because what you ABO, blind as bats don't get is we are living in a different time, an irresponsible culture, one which does not understand and is ignorant of history and holds NO regard for the Idea Of America one which Romney represents.
Santorum is scum after what he said about Zimmerman and some other idiotic things he's said and done, he really is part of our problem! Good riddance to that politicon!
If nothing else good happens during this election cycle, at least we can be happy that Saintorum will never become the president.
Every time I think about that sanctimonious dweeb having finally run away, I get a tingle running up my leg, then I suddenly realize that it’s my dog trying to tell me that even he is happy that clown is gone.
If YOU don’t want folks attacking your saint, then quit attacking Newt and shut your zealot pie hole.
TSA? Department of Homeland Security? Wow, looking forward to having more of my rights shoved up my colon. Vote for Romney, he's maybe like Bush! What a screwed up strategy there.
Last conservative in the race is Newt, hope he wins. If he doesn't, then I'll not be supporting the GOP nominee.
Ah, the good old and tired, "The liberals made him do it" defense. Next you'll break out the equally old and invalid, "not voting for romney in the general is the same as voting for Obama".
Romney vs. Obama? One of them has to lose, rejoice in that fact, whichever it is.
Thats why I don't understand why some people choose a particular politician and worship the dirt they walk on.
At the end of the day, they're all politicians. They're not regular folks like you and me. At the end of the day, you can't trust any of them, so don't pin your hopes on any of them because they're bound to disappoint you.
Newt, Newt, oh Newt, don’t do it. Newt, don’t sell out. Newt, don’t do this to us. Newt, you’re just a DC insider sellout RINO after all. Oh, woe is me, Newt’s selling out.
The hate on this thread is all directed at Santorum, as far as I can see.
Newt, so sad. Sold out after all. What a shame. Newt was the only one who could have saved us all.
I like Newt. I'll vote for him, but he doesn't have a chance. Either Obama or Romney is going to be president for the next four years. Vote for the one you think will be better for America. If you think that's Obama, vote for him. But going third party or not voting is just a way to avoid taking responsibilty for your decision. It doesn't make anything better in the real world, but makes you feel good about yourself--kind of like liberalism.
So, what you're saying is Romney has NO PRINCIPLES...What a complete loser prick! I'm beginning to despise Romney worse than McCain!
More or less. I'm saying he has no ideology beyond basically being pro-America and pro-business. Obama on the other hand does have an ideology--anti-American, anti-business, and anti-liberty. You can review my past posts, I'm no fan of Myth, but at least he doesn't hate America.
Newt campaigns as a conservative and governs as one.
Cynical gibberish will not get you anywhere!
LOL! You're joking right? How "American" and "Pro-Business" is Romneycare?
Am I in the Twightlight Zone here debating the cognitive content challenged?
No, your statement is wrong because you can't get more Anti-American, Anti- Business than Romneycare unless you jump to Obamacare! Romneycare is destroying MA.
The only thing I believe about Myth is he doesn't HATE America, like Obama does and that is the only difference, but he is still bad enough not to vote for!
What does he want to unify the Party around? Principles or expediency?
I have never doubted that Steelfish is a Romney supporter, the Santorum thing was part of that as it was with Beck and others.
I agree. And while hardly ideal, is a helluva lot better than a second Obama term.
I agree.
Romney has goals and agendas, an ideology, remember that he didn’t vote for Reagan and refused to be a republican during those years, was against the ‘Contract with America” attacked Jess Helms by name, he was involved in democrat politics campaigning, voting for and fund raising for them, even doing Planned Parenthood fundraising.
“I’m not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses.” Mitt Romney
“These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense,” “They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.” Mitt Romney
MITT ROMNEY
*””If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.
We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.””*
I agree. Mitt is a chameleon. Set him in a conservative context and he’ll strive to blend in.
Santorum won 11 states and over 3 million votes. Gingrich was an unmitigated disaster in Florida and thereafter and was the roadblock to what may have been certain Santorum wins in MI and OH that would have had the Romney campaign in ashes. Now Gingrich (unlike his blind followers) reads the writing on the wall. So who cares now what he says, does, or how he runs in campaign.
Santorum was worse on the Martin/Zimmerman incident than Romney was. By a mile. That's a fact.
I'm just curious as to what states you think are now in play with a Romney nomination. I mean, if you think Romney can become president, what state will switch from Obama to Romney, and will it be enough electoral votes to affect the race?
Because I don't see a single one that Romney wins against Obama that Obama won in 2008. Maybe Romney + Someone puts a state into play, but that's utter stupidity, choosing to start from a losing position and then hoping that maybe your VP canidate MIGHT put a state into play so you can win the presidency.
I can state absolutely that if it was Romney vs Obama, that Obama wins the Whtie House. There is nothing to draw voters away from Obama to Romney in enough numbers to make the slightest difference in the end result.
So, yeah, EVERY single person who voted for Romney up until this point has done it for a pointless reason of nominating someone who will lose the election on his own. Because he makes no difference in the real world. Kinda like liberalism - doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.
If Romney doesn't pull in 1144 for the nomination I hope Newt goes into that convention and RIPS it apart! Even if he doesn't there just might be enough conservatives there to raise total Hades because they know Romney sux!!
How did that Sphincter endorsement work out for Santorum again?
Exactly...Newt campaigns as a conservative and governs as one....THAT is why he will get my vote next month in the TX primary. I am also promoting him to all who are depressed Santorium quit and now only have Romney as a choice. I am like GET OVER IT, you DO have a choice until the very end and IF you vote your ethics, we’ll show that Romney was just launched due to him having a big war chest! I’d love to show MR that you cannot buy the office...and I’d LOVE to see Newt debate Obama as I think he is the only one that won’t go McCain on us!
“There’s no reason to believe Romney has some deep attachment to liberal policies because he governed as one in MA. He ran as a moderate/liberal because it’s a liberal state. He governed as one, because that’s what he ran on, and that was what was politically expedient. Now he’s been running as a conservative for 5 years. I suspect if he’s elected he will govern as a moderate/conservative, because that’s what he ran on, and it will be politically expedient to do so. “
Nice to see a candidate with unshakeable core values! /s
Now that's what I call STRAIGHT TALK!
“I’m no fan of Myth, but at least he doesn’t hate America. “
No, he’s milked it his whole career - all the way back to pimping funds for the Olympics. He loves government funds, mandates, taxes, control, boondoggles, etc.
Communicating with you... and your kind, is like trying to teach a fish to sit, rollover, play dead and bark.
It can’t be done and it just confuses the fish, besides, it’s better to just eat the poor fish.
LOL... THAT was a beautiful post.
Speaking for myself, exactly what I've been doing right along.
Understand the GingrichgGATORade kool-aid takes a long, long time to evaporate- suit up for being the first to be part of the permanent moon-based colonies he plans.
GO SANTORUM GO!
The same thing I'll do when Sarah Palin endorses him, (provided there's not a bloody floor fight at the convention that denies him the nomination)
I will vote straight conservative, and hopefully TEA Party Patriot conservative, up and down my ballot and write-in Sarah Louise Palin for President.
Romney will have bought/won his nomination without my vote, so he can well afford to buy/win his election without my vote too.
LOL. Kool-aide.
Your guy endorsed him in ‘08. Hang on for his endorsement!
Talk about dining on CROW!
